USC engineers have developed an optical system that routes light autonomously using thermodynamic principles. Rather than relying on switches, light organizes itself much like particles in a gas ...

A team of researchers at the Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering has created a new breakthrough in ...

Researchers have discovered a method to surpass traditional thermodynamic limits in converting waste heat into electricity.

Researchers find a way to overcome conventional thermodynamic limits when converting waste heat into electricity.

Japanese researchers have unveiled a breakthrough in energy harvesting that could redefine efficiency limits. By exploiting quantum states that resist thermalization, their new approach converts waste ...

The first law of thermodynamics is one of the bedrock laws of physics. Even if you’re not gung-ho for physics research, you might have heard the simplified version: energy can neither be created nor ...

Scientists have created the world's hottest engine running at temperatures hotter than those reached in the sun's core. The ...

The Laws of Thermodynamics are the foundation of heat transfer and energy work. When any engineer is designing or implementing a system, the consideration of heat loss or energy produced is influenced ...
